About The Role
Our Infrastructure team is responsible for building internal tools and services to improve our product availability and our Engineering productivity. Engineers in this team are passionate about performance, delivery and metrics. As an infrastructure engineer, you will collaborate closely with multiple engineering teams to help develop and improve our internal tools and services. You’ll be implementing new infrastructure using Terraform and help define our scaling, alerting and monitoring.

- Contribute to and engage in our scrum process through sprint planning, review, retrospectives and daily standups
- Understand the technical requirements of new requests and work with other engineers to ensure the end result matches expectations of building a world class product
